This here holiday
needs no lengthy introduction as to why it exists or the benefits of partaking
in it, it simply is a great day and must be celebrated. Just what are we
speaking of you ask? Well today Ladies & Gents, just so happens to be
National Tequila Day and with that we must kick a few classic recipes out to
our readers as well as a new Libation recipe to get the days events pushing
along as planned.
Enjoy!!!
Ingredients:
4 oz Tequila (whatever
brand you choose, we suggest Patron or Don Julio)
2 oz Lemon Juice
2 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 ½ tsp Honey
4 dashes Bitters
(found in almost every liquor and grocery store)
Crushed Ice
Lemons (washed
thoroughly and cut into slices for garnishing)
*Drink Mixer w/
strainer
2 Martini Glasses
Chilled
Directions:
Combine
tequila, lemon juice and sweet vermouth, honey and bitters in a clean drink mixer / shaker (a previously used one will
give this drink an odd flavor, make sure to wash it if you have made other
drinks previously to making this cocktail.)
Add ice, cover
and shake until the outside of the mixer is cold.
Strain
into 2 martini glasses; garnish with lemon twists.
Looks bomb trying it tonight.
